About
Craft The World is a unique sandbox strategy game, the mix of Dungeon Keeper, Terraria and Dwarf Fortress.
Explore a random generated world populated by dangerous creatures, build a dwarf fortress, gather resources, and craft all the items, weapons, and armor you need.

You control a tribe of dwarves by giving them commands to dig in certain places, attack enemy creatures, and build houses and other structures. You'll need to provide your dwarves food and clothing, as well as help them with magic when fighting against other inhabitants of the world. You start the game with one dwarf and gain additional dwarves as your experience level increases.

Each game level has many layers of earth to explore, from the sky down to boiling subterranean lava. The level is randomly generated as an island, restricted by natural boundaries: oceans on the edges, lava beneath it, and the sky above. Other features include day and night and changing weather conditions. The worlds differ in size, humidity, temperature, terrain, and flora and fauna. Abandoned halls and rooms with treasure are hidden somewhere deep within the islands.

One feature of the game is a user-friendly system of recipes for crafting. The recipes are organized and easily accessible. You can craft dozens of different items: building blocks for houses, furniture, decorations, weapons, armor, ammunition, and food for your dwarves.

At the outset you find the recipes for basic tools and items, and build a small house with places to sleep and eat. Then, the size of the tribe increases and catches the attention of other inhabitants of the world. Most of them are night creatures and dwell underground. The worlds are full of fantasy creatures like zombies, skeletons, goblins, beholders, ghosts, giant spiders, and others. Some of them pay little attention to the dwarves, as long as the dwarves do not come into their field of vision. Others gather into quite large groups and try to break into the dwarves’ residence.

Especially dangerous are the waves of monsters that appear from time to time from portals. So, do not neglect to build a safe haven with strong walls and numerous trapdoors, cells, firing towers, and secret passageways.

As a divine being, you possess various spells. You can speed up the movement of the dwarves, open small portals, illuminate dark caves to scare away monsters, evoke natural magic in the form of rain or tree growth, hurl fireballs at the monsters’ heads, and find useful resources and hidden rooms underground, thereby helping to speed up resource extraction, exploration of the world, and the population growth of your assistants.

Игра сама по себе неплоха, однако у разработчиков или мозгов, или желания развивать свой проект нет. Уйма платных длс с контентом без толики глубины или синергий с предыдущими механиками, а также лютый дизбаланс во многих аспектах, будь то КРИВАЯ кривая сложности или отвратительный контроль над гномами и процессами их деятельности. Приправляется это мертвейшим интеллектом гномов, которые не просто тупые, но ещё и лагучие! Буквально! Могут просто залагать на одном месте во время лазанья или плаванья. И разрабов данные проблемы совсем не заботят, отчего уровень развития игры, несмотря на продолжающуюся "поддержку" (дойку), остановился в году выхода этой игры..
Oddly simple, yet slightly complex. Oddly fun, yet surprisingly chill. Oddly stands the tests of video game time, yet doesn't demand all your time. Cheap enough to give it a try. Priced fair enough to not get buyers remorse if it's not your flavor.
Тонны DLS которая часть должна была быть в оригинале, хоть и игра неплохая, но хотя бы раз выпустите что то кроме DLS, это чисто издевательство над аудиторией
Игра хорошая, разраб нет :(
Это не игра а пожиратель времени . Одумайтесь глупцы .
Honestly I have been playing this for over ten years. it is a calming game with challenges. I would like to see some classes as the dwarves lack definition and individuality after the third or fourth playthrough and I would like to see them become more memorable. easy to play and fun to go back to when you just want a chill gaming experience.
миниатюрная песочница. игра детства. симулятор господства над карликами. однозначно в нее стоит поиграть. в свое время я на пираточке наиграл 50+ часов в нее. ммм, да, в ней что-то есть. НО! в стимовской версии частые фризы. в пираточке такого не было. приобрел базовую версию и докупил женщин за 60 деревянных. чтобы детки были не буратино))
If you like Oxygen Not Included and Terraria, you will like this game. It is not perfect, and lacks some automation, but definitely a good game.
I absolutely love this game which I've been playing for years. I always come back to it. I'm getting on in years and have yet to find a game I like anywhere near as much. Level 4 is my favourite and I really hope there is another level to come as good as that one. Not so keen on level 5. Play mostly on 4. Thanks so very much to the developers for continuing to support.
The game in not playable anymore. I played almost 600 hours on this account and it still have plenty of bugs. How can the developers keep on pushing out more DLC's when the base game still needs work? Most of the DLC have mostly negative reviews or mixed if anything. We know multiplayers don't work well at all and the dwarfs keep on getting stuck and not doing what they should be doing on a regular basis. Now, the base game, which at one time was pretty good, is lacking in support and some good things have been taken out of the base game that used to be included. What good is books if you cannot equip them on the dwarfs anymore. The negative and mixed reviews on most of the DLCs speaks for themselves.
